Why does a network need a server?
When we send a data to server or access the data their will be must a network.Through network we access the data and save the data to the File server or cloud server.
Is local area network is critical in providing a file server?
Yes. For your client computers to access the files on your file server they need to be able to communicate with the file server which is where the LAN comes in because it interconnects all your computers and the file server so that they can communicate.
What software do networks require?
Depends on the network. Say for a simple file sharing network. You dont need any special software. Just make sure you have your TCP/IP settings configured correctly, a userfriendly name on your PC, and then just check your firewall settings. Ready to start sharing. But if you want to set 2 folders to sync over a network (or the internet) you will need software. If you want printer sharing, you will find most (non-technical) people will use software to do all the configs for them, whereas a techie would just stick in the printer IP, or the name of the computer its attached to - whatever the case may be. You will have to be more specific as to what network your talking about (wired, wireless) and what this network is doing (file sharing, printer sharing) is there a server, if so what OS is it...
Samba server and ftp server difference?
Samba server is used fo sharing file and folder and directories over the network ,whether sharing between windows to Linux or vice versa,same case with the ftp but 1)ftp can provide anonymous access to the clients,that means,there is no need to have users account on ftp server 2)files first need to be downloaded from windows or Linux before viewing it,in case of samba we can direct share files. 3)in case of samba there is need of samba clients on samba server for accessing files.
What do you mean by work stations?
A workstation - is a dedicated terminal on a network powered by a file-server. The workstation doesn't usually have the ability to transfer files to floppy disk - instead, all work is saved on the file-server. All software on the network is also held on the file-server, and each user accesses the program(s) they need by logging-on. A typical system would be a network of UNIX terminals.

What kind of permissions for remote users need to be set when you share folders on the network?
share permission
When do you install the network operating system?
If we need to allow personal computers to participate in computer network and shared file and printer access within a local area network (LAN). At that time after physically connecting the server computer to the network, we can install the network operating system (NOS) on the server.
What is cilent serever network model?
The client-server model is a system where many clients (end users) that need the same information contact a central processing computer, called a server. In this model, no client may access information without the server. This model places emphasis on the central processing system. For example, if your mail server goes down, you can not send or receive email. The inverse of this model is the peer-to-peer model, where each end user also acts as a server. In the peer-to-peer model, the loss of a single unit diminishes the total capacity of the network, but does not cause a complete outage. For example, if you are sharing a file over the network, and you disconnect from that network, your file is no longer on the network, but other computers on that network can still access other files that are on the network.
What is the difference between P2P file sharing and traditional file sharing?
In peer-to-peer sharing you are using a software program and not you browser. And there is a computer to computer charing system instead of servers. All you need to do is type in what you want and probally it will come up as found. And you can download it. And in traditionaln file sharing you can either go trough a server or two computers near by on the same internet way.
Why you need server?
A server merely provides a service when asked. Severs can provide different kinds of services. Large networks typically have many servers. Each server is usually dedicated to providing a single service. Those that provide file-sharing facilities are called file servers. Those that server Web pages are called Web servers.
